As per picture, iOS detects a numeric field, correct, and shows a keyboard with numbers but without negative sign. It’s impossible to write a minus - there on iOS (well: I have been using copy paste from other apps…).
If there is not an numeric keyboard with negative sign available, it’s easier to simply allow a normal keyboard. (Or add an invert +/- button by side to invert any value)

### Describe the issue you are experiencing
When using Chrome on Android, the App on Android, Safari on iOS or the App on iOS you are unable to enter negative numbers despite being able to on the desktop. I do wonder if it might be something to do with the regex validation but that is very much a guess on my part.
Interesting Samsung Internet on Android does not appear to have the issue, so I suspect that its not applying the validation on it which the others are.
